Reviews of shows at London theatres

This production will no doubt improve as the cast settle into their roles, but some of the creative decisions serve to confuse rather than enhance Wilde's biblical tragedy.

Though it's not one of the all-time great thrillers, there's certainly enough in both the story and the laudable performances to keep you hooked right up to the end.

Well-cast, with excellent direction and performances, this production ably proves that Howard Barker's seldom-produced and equivocal play still has the power to enthral.

Really needed room to breathe in a larger venue; and some judicial pruning and occasionally more clarity in the narrative would have helped to keep the audience engaged.

A mesmerising show and a terrific performance from a hugely gifted musician, singer and actor. Wonderful stuff.
